Throwback Thursday: Altuzarra Tie Front Shirtdress

The top of this Altuzarra tie front shirtdress reminds me of Rosie the Riveter. All it needs is a polka dot bandana and an impressive bicep! But the anything-men-can-do-we-can-do-better vibe is elegantly balanced out by the blouse’s flirty front tie. Wear this to a spring picnic or on a breezy day at the shore. Or get the look for less by buying separates (you’ll get more wear from these, too!). Equipment’s striped blue top (at Nordstrom for $138) is essentially the same except you have buttons from neck to navel, which is nice if you like to be more covered up (Altuzarra’s top is held together with a hidden hook-eye). Granted, DKNY’s khaki skirt (at Saks Fifth Avenue for $160) is shorter and pleated than the dress, but it’s almost summer – live a little! Available on Farfetch for $1,380.
